This isn't such a big issue anymore, but occasionally I won't complete a request for registration because I can't tell whether the request comes from a spambot or not. So how do you not look like a spambot?

--Choose a name that doesn't include strings of random characters; jeff397862517 looks spambotty, as would lkduiahzzz.

--Don't leave all the optional info blank (or filled in with vague info that doesn't indicate that you're interested in anything this Board covers). For instance, if you list "anime" as an interest, that tells me you're in the right place.

And, of course, if for some reason I fail to activate your account, feel free to contact me at ghost@neomythos.com with "Discussion Boards" as the subject of your email.
